In order to analyze the mechanical behavior of surrounding rock and initial support during shaft excavation and support process, reveal the law of stratum displacement, the stress characteristics of surrounding rock and the internal force of supporting structure during construction, this paper establishes a three-dimensional finite element numerical model relying on the construction process of a ventilation shaft in Chongqing Rail Transit. The results show that the stress of shotcrete, the bending moment of supporting structure, the axial force of bolt and the axial force of I-beam are all within the allowable range. The "S" shape bending occurs in the range of 60m~70m for the axial force of bolt and cross brace I-beam. According to the results of model test, there is inflection point in the pressure distribution of rectangular deep ventilation shaft in rail transit, which provides a basis for the support design of deep ventilation shaft.
